which is the current easiest T & E to work with ?

[LukeD]

I like Prysmian cables . But would like to know if there are better ?

Prysmian is the best imo

copper cable company is good

when I first started house bashing I used a lot of ABB wessel which is ok

some of the non branded stuff I have picked up from the Diy sheds while in a pinch has been hit and miss

Doncaster cable used to be good, haven't seen it around for ages.
+1 for Prysmian.

Doncaster ,Pirelli, BICC were good quality T&E. Looks like Prysmian has dominated the market.

With the price of it lately it could be a target for some low life!

Cable is surprisingly difficult to shift second hand compared to hand tools , power tools , general tools and other builders gear ...

Not a sparks, But a tree surgeon (Dope head) near me uses a open back truck .All his gear in the back etc during the day. Parked up to get a coffee . Heard a lot of people sounding their horns etc ... A bunch of Nomadic caravan dwellers had stopped their van in the traffic and helped themselves . He lost the lot . Including 2 mega expensive lawnmowers . Site/van tool theft is mental around london. They will do it directly in front of sites and "front" any owner .
